Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2

Meteorological Summary:

High pressure will result in mostly sunny and warm conditions across the State today.
Locally breezy northeast winds are expected with the afternoon sea breeze, particularly south of Interstate 4.
With the lowest afternoon relative humidities expected across Southwest Florida, fire weather potential will be greatest in these areas.
Overnight, a cluster of thunderstorms is expected to approach the Western Florida Panhandle. While these storms should be weakening as they approach, there is some potential for a lightning and damaging wind risk before the storms dissipate by daybreak.
The strong northeasterly flow will create high surf along the Florida East Coast, mainly north of West Palm Beach. A high risk of rip currents is also forecast for this area Monday afternoon.
